Open an issue and provide a (permanent) url to a web-accessible existing interaction dataset along with a data citation. Any structured data format / API will do, and csv/tsv file formats are preferred. Examples includes references to openly accessible datapaper (e.g. Raymond et al. 2011, Ferrer-Paris et al. 2014), data hosted in github (e.g. Hurlbert 2014) or publicly accessible APIs (e.g. iNaturalist). For citations, DOIs are preferred, but any will do as long as they describe the source of the data. If you don’t have one already, services like figshare, dryad and Zenodo allow you to do.

In case you are publishing a (data) paper that contains species interaction data, cite Poelen et al. 2014. The GloBI citation help us to easily find your paper and make the published data easy to access.

In case the data is not (yet) web accessible, please open an issue describe the dataset and we can have a discussion on how to make the data available through GloBI.

As the automated updates occur on a daily basis, it may take a day or two for updates or corrections to be available through GloBI and related libraries like rglobi. For more information, see Poelen et al. 2014, GloBI homepage.
